Victorian Premier’s Literary Awards 2020
Last week Counting & Cracking received the Victorian Prize for Literature and Prize for Drama in the Victorian Premier’s Literary Awards. It’s a wonderful recognition of this epic work by by S. Shakthidharan and Eamon Flack, one that was five years in the making. It is only the second time a play has won both the drama award and Victorian Prize for Literature, after Leah Purcell was awarded both in 2017 for her stage adaptation of The Drover’s Wife, another Belvoir production.
